Taking the First Step

More than 1,044 LEAP Specialists from hundreds of Senior Living and LTC communities in 38 states have completed the train-the-trainer workshops in the past three years.

Many communities are reporting reductions in nursing staff turnover from 20% to 50% annually. With staff replacements costs of $5,000 to $10,000 per staff position, this translates to significant cost savings.

Significant increases in job satisfaction, leadership effectiveness, work empowerment, and work effectiveness by nursing staff are reported one and two years post-LEAP implementation, demonstrating that this program can produce sustainable change.

Nursing staff share remarkable stories about personal successes with the LEAP tools. Better relationships with colleagues, residents, and families have been created in the LEAP learning environment. Communities that support learning and development are primed for this experience.
